Adam Lambert premieres If I Had You

Adam Lambert makes like a mad hatter in the video for If I Had You, the third single from debut disc For Your Entertainment.

The clip features the Idol runner-up — seriously, he didn’t win?! — raving it up alongside friends near Griffith Park in Los Angeles. Lambert says the video, shot overnight, was inspired by his experience at the Burning Man festival five years ago.

“My friends, family, and my devoted fans have been a key force in keeping me grounded,” he said in a statement. “I wanted to make a video that paid tribute to the wonderful people who’ve inspired me to become the artist and spirit I am today.”

I like it. Just enough sparkle to take the song over the top.

Featured in the clip a few times are fellow AI alum Allison Iraheta (YAY!) and Ke$ha. Look again. See? Told you.
